How To Drink Wine Like A Wanker

Occasionally emotional, mostly ridiculous; a delightful story involving a fabulous flight of South Australian wines* & 12-months of sobering self-discovery. Follow one woman’s accidental journey from shallow wine novice to full-blown wanker – a little rudimentary knowledge to accompany her game face & voila, she became so much more! Part performance, part storytelling, part wine-tasting, with a full-bodied narrative & a moreish finish – don’t miss this critically acclaimed, multi-award winning, sell out show!

Presented by: Anna Thomas

A successful restaurateur and businesswoman, Anna has had a long love affair with the arts, and a particularly deep connection with the Adelaide Fringe. In 2018, Anna saw unprecedented success as a first-time writer, producer & solo artist in her debut sell-out seasons at the Adelaide & Edinburgh Fringe with her one woman show, "How to Drink Wine Like A Wanker". Since then, she has continued to write, perform & produce other works, including her latest one woman show "Shadows of Herself", developing her first children's production, as well as curating multiple Adelaide Fringe venues. Still considering herself a novice, Anna is enjoying the trials & tribulations of presenting, performing, & occasionally drinking to excess... um... success!!
